Just a short note to say that the latest version of XURL is available from
my web site!

XURL - The URL eXtractor 
------------------------
XURL (pronounced ZURL) extracts URLs such as http:// from a file and
adds them to a html document which can be loaded into a browser.
The URL can then be clicked on and the browser will jump straight to
the given URL.
This means that you no longer have to write them down and then re-key 
them into your browser. XURL makes it easy.

v2.31 04/01/97
New:
.Support for ftp:// and mailto: URLs.

.Ability to view the .html file in a browser (ie. CAB) immediately
 after extraction. VASTART is used if the browser is already running 
 else it is launched via shel_write.
 Full path to the browser must be specified in an environment variable
 "BROWSER=" (see documentation).
 Generic term of 'browser' is used, along with VA Start instead
 of CAB protocol. Hopefully it will be compatible with both CAB and 
 Webspace.

.<HR> Horizontal Rule written to separate 'new' extractions from 
 existing ones. So you can see at a glance which are the new ones just 
 extracted. Thanks to Roy Goring for this suggestion :)

.Status bar now shows a realtime count of how many urls 
 extracted/ignored during processing.

.XURL now accepts a full pathname via a command line and uses it as a 
 default 'source' path. ie. dragging a file from the desktop onto the 
 xurl icon results in that file being defaulted into xurls 'source' 
 field ready for extraction.

.New 'About' dialogue which allows 'copying' of my email address/url 
 to the clipboard, ready for pasting into a relevant program.
 Double clicking on the email address/url will launch it into a 
 email program/browser (see documentation).
 This is going to be standard in all my programs from now on.
 It's a bit gimmicky but hey, so what!

Bugfix(s):
.Bomb fixed if no filename or wildcards specified
 (File selector code rewritten).

.Fixed the problem where a url is sometimes extracted with an extra < 
 at the beginning and therefore doesn't show as a link. (Hopefully)!

.extracted urls are no longer centred when displayed using CAB 2.0 or 
 Internet Explorer3. Header HTML changed in XURLHOME. To activate this 
 bug fix it will be necessary to delete/replace your existing .html 
 result file, so that XURL recreates it for you!
